That is not a meaningful question. There is no place in the plan for the sort of schedule that those words imply. NonGNU ELPA would contain many packages, each managed in its own way. Whoever has charge of any given package for NonGNU ELPA purposes will be able to operate on it at any time. > 1. If I want my changes to appear in NonGNU ELPA, should I: Your changes would be in some package.

We don't need to think about this just for setting up NonGNU ELPA. We would like people to volunteer to start setting it up. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
